I know I know, why am I using MP4 still?? It’s because I have like 100 files already in this format and I need to upload to a website, I have the mp4 file embeded in the site already and the file played changes according to php.

but what I really need is a way to dynamically create a thumbnail or take a snapshot of the video file to display on the page. I’ve read a couple things online but they all require the file type to be in FLV, what would be the best way to accomplish this?

Thank you Guys!

    have you looked at ffdshow? You can program against it, including capturing thumbnails.
